Premier Campbell Newman has conceded defeat, Police Minister Jack Dempsey is in deep trouble after a 24 per cent swing in Bundaberg and Local Government Minister David Crisafulli has all but conceded defeat in Mundingburra despite being ahead narrowly on primary votes.

A host of assistant ministers are also likely to be unseated.

Across the aisle there are plenty of winners as several former members look likely to return to parliament.

Losers

Premier Campbell Newman

He made history by parachuting in from outside parliament to lead the LNP to a crushing victory in 2012 and made history again on Saturday as the first Premier

Jack Dempsey

The Police Minister is tipped to lose Bundaberg comfortably to Labor's Leanne Donaldson. He was one of the minister's withdrawn from public view as part of Operation Boring.

David Crisafulli

The Local Government Minister says he faces an "uphill battle" in Mundingburra and the ABC's Antony Green is tipping Labor's Coralee O'Rourke to unseat him..

Ian Walker

The Minister for Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts' seat of Mansfield is going down to the wire but he's ahead so far.

Assistant ministers Saxon Rice (Mount Coot-tha), Seath Holswich (Pine Rivers), Gavin King (Cairns), and Robert Cavallucci (Brisbane Central) and Lisa France (Pumicestone) all look likely to lose their seats. It's tight in Mount Ommaney for Tarnya Smith but Antony Green is predicting she will be safe.

Winners

But on the other side of the fence there were winners galore with success for sitting MPs and a host of former parliamentarians back from the political wilderness.

Annastacia Palaszczuk

Written off by most as a credible option for Premier during the election, she looks to have at the very least forced a very tight battle for control of the state.

Jackie Trad

One of the original Labor 'Tarago team' left standing after the 2012 election, she was one of the main Labor MPs asked about future leadership prospects on election night.

Kate Jones

The former Labor minister withdrew from public life after going down to Mr Newman in Ashgrove in 2012 only to return for revenge in 2015.

Cameron Dick

He was touted as a future leader before being ousted in the rort that was the 2012 election but looks set to return to parliament as the new Member Woodridge.

Stirling Hinchliffe

He was a three-time minister under Labor administrations but another high-level casualty of the 2012 election. He's predicted to win Sandgate back for Labor.

Mark Furner

The former Queensland Senator looks set to return to politics in Ferny Grove after spending

seven months out of the arena since being booted from the federal senate in the June elections.

Billy Gordon and Leeanne Enoch

Gordon, from the north Queensland electorate of Cook, and Enoch, in Brisbane's Algester, have become Queensland's first indigenous MPs since Eric Deeral was part of Joh Bjelke Petersen's Country Party victory in 1974.

Grace Grace (Brisbane Central), Di Farmer (Bulimba), and Mark Ryan (Morayfield) are also back after three years out of the political scene.

Nanango

By Jorge Branco

One seat is bucking the state-wide swing to Labor.

LNP MP Deb Frecklington managed a boost to her vote in Nanango, albeit only slightly.

The Assistant Minister to the Premier had been anointed as a rising star in the party and tipped for a role in the ministry in the near future. While her colleagues fell around her to swings as large as 20 per cent and above Ms Frecklington managed a 0.5 per cent swing on first preferences.

On two-party-preferred standings she managed a six per cent swing against Katter's Australian Party candidate Ray Hopper.
